In the case of South Africa under apartheid, there is significant evidence that sanctions actually were a motivating factor in the regime's decision to build nuclear weapons in the first place, rather than being the force behind its dismantlement.

Secretary Clinton wants to give diplomacy time to work. But three years have already been wasted in merry-go-round diplomacy. These are three years the locusts have eaten. All the while, the mullahs have been building, hiding, advancing their nuclear weapons program.
